Mobile Delight in the twilight
A sweet sword Hanging on my brain door Shining with a mystical might Flavors that are vicious and bright It cuts my invisible emotional ties And takes me on a roller-coaster ride Diving into the ocean of E-life Everything else seems to be a lie A new tool “E-divine” That sets the bar upright The windows shut and doors closed The real world carved is...
